Ans:
The paint does not freeze, but it does behave differently in the cold
temperatures. Titanium White (PW6) and Zinc White (PW4) metal
pigments behave more like molasses or honey. They get more stringy
like spaghetti. Other paints from specific brands get stiff like
refrigerated butter and lack flexibility and flow.

Q:
Why do you paint outside in the winter cold?

Ans:
Life is moments. When I am outside on location I feel free like a
bird flying in a big blue sky. The cold acts as a catalysis to
achieving higher levels of creative concentration. I have to get
intensely focused and block out the cold and time becomes a day
dream.

I
also paint outside because I want to share... to open my studio to
the public.

Q:
Why do you not wear gloves?

Ans:
You do not make love with cloths on... so why paint with gloves on.

This
also creates problems. When nature calls and you need to go to the
bathroom. Your hands are all covered in paint. You destroy your
underwear and specific body parts look like a blue smurf.
